Golden Knights tickets may be costliest in history for second round

Not only are Golden Knights’ playoff games the hottest ticket in town, they’re the hottest ticket in the entire NHL.

At an average of $691 according to Ticketiq, tickets on the secondary market for the Golden Knights’ second-round playoff games are the most expensive for this round since the company began tracking NHL ticket sales in 2011.

The Golden Knights offered tickets to both full- and part-time season-ticket holders at a discounted rate before the tickets were made available to the general public. Full-time season-ticket holders were offered a chance to enter into the Knights Vow program, giving them a significant discount on the price of tickets but preventing them from selling on the secondary market.

The tickets dried up quickly when they went on sale at noon Monday, with some fans being turned away only minutes after. That sent hopeful buyers to secondary market options like Stubhub and Ticketiq, where prices have been steep.

The cheapest ticket sold on Stubhub as of Monday afternoon was $181, and the most expensive was $3,350.
